On a 64bit install of Windows, you will need to open an elevated CMD prompt and execute the following command, and then reboot: After accepting the EULA, select to install just the Windows Performance Toolkit, and click 'Install':ĥ. Use the default installation path, and click 'Next':ģ. Download/Run the installer for the Windows 8.1 ADK:Ģ.

I will need you to generate a trace file for me of the problem occurring using the Windows Performance Recorder from the Windows Performance Toolkit (part of the Windows 8.1 ADK) for me to provide assistance into what is happening here - instructions below.ġ. I was unfortunately unable to upload the trace.zip file to this forum (the upload never appeared in the File Upload Manager, I'm guessing it's too large?) so I posted it to my website at the following link:Īny help is greatly appreciated, I'm seriously at wits' end and am considering going Office Space on my PC at this point!!!!

I have 3 total posts as Sn1perm4n (2 on page 11, 1 on page 12) and have yet to receive any advice/help.

I'm seeing very bad audio stuttering when attempting to use AirPlay (and Airfoil) to play music on my Yamaha RX-V473 A/V receiver in my living room (the PC in question is in my bedroom). I've spent more than 15 hours troubleshooting an insanely annoying issue I'm experiencing on the best PC (a quad-core with HyperThreading 4770K with a Geforce GTX 770 and 16GB of RAM) in my house.
